If you ask me, summer was made for tomatoes provencal – perfectly sweet tomatoes topped with Gruyere cheese, crusted with almond flour and fresh herbs.
As you read this, market stands are spilling over with heirloom tomatoes. Golden ones. Red ones streaked with green. Plump and purple tomatoes that look like they might burst when you pick them up.
Tomatoes – especially heirlooms – are beautiful. They also pack enough flavor to put this dish on repeat during tomato season. For a little slice of heaven, pair tomatoes provencal with Kale and Sundried Tomato Frittata .
